a dark story about what happens to two fairy tale characters when they grow up

and a rolando paulino. y comedy that features just about everybody currently working in show business. they are all competing for your time and money at the box office this weekend. joining us now is kevin mccarthy with 106.7 the fan to tell us if we should see any of these. >> hello. thank you for having me. >> of course. >> this is the film starring essentially everybody. hugh jackman, kate winslow, greg kinnear, there is every actor ever in this film. it was shot over a four-year period and they had to shoot it based on the actor's schedule so some of the was shot four years ago. the movie was not screened to

critics. >> are they usually that successful with these movies. >> it's series of interconnected short films baked around gigantic story of dennis quaid pitching a movie to a movie studio. it did not screen to critics. and the stars aren't doing any press. they didn't seen show up to the premier of the film. so it is like they are hiding this movie. >> not a ringing endorsement j i paid to see it last night so i could give you guys a review. i saw it seven hours ago. it starts off very strong, the kate winslet and hugh jackman sequence is very funny. after that, it takes a painful decline into an excruciating by disgusting, disturbing violent movie. for some odd reason, they're just shocking to you shock you. there is absolutely no heart behind any of the comedy and you become numb to t. >> i found myself, this is a four out of five at first and

then it becomes a zero out of five. the last short is so disturbing and so disgusting that you leave the theater just regretting everything you just saw. so my suggestion is to rent the film, watch the first sequence and then turn it off. so i gave the movie a one and a half out of five. >> that was the average between the four and the zero. >> yes. emma stone was in it. one and a half out of five. skip it. it is terrible. >> let's move on to another one you look a little bit better. hansel and gretel. >> this is a fun movie. like seeing a fairy tale turn into an r-rated action movie. sat down with the leads in the film and i asked them what r- rated movies should be turned into fairy tales. can you fine that answer on nerd tears.com. they have grown up to become witch hunters. the a fun over the top film t requires a relationship with the audience. we'll wink at you, we'll be over the top but we'll deliver

you a great action movie. the audience has to go in there and this is not an oscar script. this is not a film you will be looking for best director, best picture. it is a fun over the top ask adventure which i feel like people can enjoy if you turn your brain off. jeremy renner, i loved him in the hurt locker. but he is lifeless in this movie. there is a character who doesn't have any dialogue who has more character development than jeremy renner in this film. it is fun, over the top. it was shot half in 3-d and half in not 3-d. skip that. three on the -- three out of five. >> would you compare it to the snow white movie? yes, it is very violent. it is like a dark twist on a fairy tale but this is more of the vile the aadult themed movies. >> lastly, parker. you just saw this last night. >> i saw that and the other movie last night.

the interesting thing, the character is the same character mel gibson played in 1999 appear payback and the same character lee marvin played in point blank in 1967 so you've seep this character a million times on screen. i honestly think he has been playing the same character his entire career. i looked lock stock and two smoking barrels but this is about a thief who gets double crossed. jennifer lopez happens tobacco real estate agent where he goes to to seek his revenge. she is fun in the movie. he is good with the action series. i gave it a two and a half out of five. i didn't find the movie to be amazing but i also didn't hate it. two and a half out of five. check the matinee or the rental. >> i would go zero dark thirty,

django unchained, les mis or argo if it is still playing. check out those movies and check out twitter, bdk reviews. >> time to talk about all this snow. >> it is on the way. not going to be a big deal. much like yesterday, we'll probably get an inch of snow later today. it will be out of here by 9:00, 10:00 tonight. temperatures have been so cold and with high temperatures only in the mid-20s later today, every flake that falls from the sky will find a home here on the ground somewhere to stick. >> it creates some problems. >> obviously, any of us that have lived here for any period of time know an inch of snow can cause some issues around here. >> 0 right now at reagan national. 16 at leonardtown. another very cold morning with most of the area here in the teens.

going to be a cold day. highs only in the mid- to upper 20s. day number four failing to get out of the 20s. cloud cover to start your day. not sure you will see mitch in the way of sun today. here is your cloud cover and here is your snow out to the west. it is another clipper system. a fast-moving clipper system. not a lot of moisture to work with. we'll come rolling right through the mid-atlantic later this afternoon. it will bring us a period of snow starting 2:00, 3:00 today through about 9:00 or 10:00 tonight. probably close to an inch. there could be a few places particularly up to the north in northern maryland where they might get more like 2 or possibly even 3 inches. that will be about it. here we are at #:00. we are starting to get snow out to the west and if you are a viewer out in west virginia, western maryland, it will arriv it will wash across the area. that evening rush hour, 3:00 to 6:00 tonight going to be a

challenging time around here. the time is the not a great one. the whole thing gets out of here by 10:00 tonight and by tomorrow morning, back in the sunshine with high temperatures tomorrow believe it or not getting above freezing. we may be 34, 35 degrees tomorrow. how much snow are we looking at? not a lot. just like yesterday. about an inch. some spots could get a little more than that. we are thinking the jackpot this time might be northern maryland where you might get closer to 2 or perhaps 3 inches. here is your accu-weather seven- day forecast. even an inch can cause issues when it is sticking. with temperatures only in the 20s, it will. we warm it up by the middle of next week. it will be in the upper 50s for a day or two around the tuesday, wednesday time frame with showers back in the forecast. >> roller coaster ride. >> temperatures all over the place. >> all right. >> that is good news. >> hello, hello. >> good morning to all of up.

good morning, , everybody. >> guess what it is time for. ask tony and tucker. today's question comes from chris smith. chris lives in woodbridge, virginia. he wants to know where did the term alberta clipper come from? who is alberta? good question, chris. >> an old friend. her name is alberta smithington and back in the 100s. >> why are you laughing into because ate not true. >> alberta is not a person. it is a place. >> it is a province in canada. and that is where the term alberta clipper come from because the origins of the storms and yesterday was an alberta clipper. today is an alberta clipper as well. origins of these storms take shape in alberta, canada. so back in the day, they were

named alberta clippers after the province alberta and after the clipper ships, the mast- moving clipper ships in the 1800s. -- the fast-moving clipper ships in the 100s. we are looking ate a typical alberta clipper weather pattern. the sort of time people to see these is between december and february. >> it is andier of low pressure. a storm system that develops in the east of the canadian rockeries. -- it is an area of low pressure. >> that drk purple line you see brinks warm, moist air over the mountains and the storm twops in the lee trough of the mount taupes up in alberta. it gets pushed down and pulled along the jet treatment down into the eastern united states. -- that dark purple line you see brings warm, moist air over

the mountains and the storm develops. >> these clippers are responsible to bringing quite a bit of the snow that often comes in the upper midwest, great lakes 11th street bridge region, chicago, places like that. here is what you need to know if you are from here. typically, if tucker is talking bay clipper, it means we'll get some snow. it usually means we went get that much. >> it means all snow but not much because its origins are continental. it is developed over land. it doesn't have a lot of moisture available to t it is not able to tap into the gulf of mexico or the atlantic ocean for an additional moisture feed. that is why we're talking about not much moisture content. >> it moves fast. >> it's quick mover, yeah j on rare -- >> on rare occasion, it is sometime able to pull in moisture and energy from the coast and become a big
